There's already been a boatload of bloviation expressed on the recent reversal of the ban on loaded firearms in our national parks, some of it sensible but most of it (predictably) bordering on hysterics.

If Rumsfeld had more than half a wit, he would have known that he needed to plan for that contingency, regardless of any bloviation by Darth, Shrub, Wolfie and the remainder of the neo-con turd pack about not doing nation building and being greeted as liberators.

In other words, all the bluster and bloviation and cruel humor he exuded was there to cover up for the fact that he's nothing more than an overpaid carnival barker, and he's scared to death that the world will find out.

That said, this is shaping up as such an awful situation that, if the top kill doesn't work, you can expect DRAMATIC ACTION (for the sake of dramatic action if nothing else), which means bureaucratic shake-ups, new policies, new edicts, new bluster and bloviation, and almost certainly at least one human sacrifice.
